Hi,
I may be crazy but when I try to add my Facebook account to the stock Calendar, it's just missing. I do have the facebook app installed and it does show up under Accounts & Sync, under phone settings. I've attached screenshots of both screens. Am I missing something painfully obvious?
Thanks!
Here's the Calendar add accounts screen

I'm not sure if you can add Facebook as a calendar directly like that. However, you can just add get Facebook to sync events with your Google calendar instead..nearly as good: http://www.technipages.com/add-facebook-events-to-google-calendar

Thanks. That's really useful if I want to specific events, but I'd rather something more automated, hence trying to add the account to my calendar.
Sunrise did/does it very well, but is no longer supported so I'm trying to move over to a new calendar system.
Found these instructions online. I thought someone else mind find them useful.
Go to facebook Events.
On right-hand side, under Events Happening This Week, there is a box that says:
"You can add your events to Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar or Apple Calendar. Once you add them, they'll stay updated. Learn More.
Upcoming Events · Birthdays"
Right click on Upcoming Events and open it in a new window. (I tried just right clicking the link to copy, didn't work, so did it in a new window - really the only difference from the above instructions).
Copy the link address.
Go to Google Calendar (this part is just like what they said above in other answers).
Next to Other Calendars, hit the drop-down arrow.
Click on Add by URL.
Paste the link from the new window you had opened.

Found this little tutorial and works wonders. I like having direct access to images/video taken from my devices, even if I can't access my email. Also Dropbox has that new "instant" feature they just rolled out, so give this a try http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/viri8/cerberus_to_dropbox/
Visit www.sendtodropbox.com and connect your Dropbox account, then you will be given a unique email address [email protected], save the email address.

}
Make sure you have these settings setup for the next step
Head to gmail and go to settings….forwarding and POP/IMAP…click on add forwarding address….use the email you were provided with earlier from www.sendtodropbox.com
In your Dropbox account you will have a plain text attachment with your conformation code to activate the forwarding of email.
Now head over to filters and create a new filter
The label setting is optional, but make sure you have the "forward it to" checked and select the email address you added earlier
Your filter should look like this
Finally head back to www.sendtodropbox.com and save these settings, you can arrange the "attributes" and "save to" as you please…hit save settings
Now head over to www.cerberusapp.com and test that it works, I just did send test message and upon dismiss it takes a pictures, then my Dropbox syncs the image.
Also Cerberus has a new beta https://www.cerberusapp.com/Cerberus_2.3beta.apk
adds these features:
Stealthy photo/video capture
There is a new "Transparent" option for the "Screen color" setting in the app configuration. When it's selected, if you send a "Take picture" or "Capture video" command from the web dashboard, checking the "Take picture/capture video immediately" option, you should not see anything on the device while Cerberus captures the photo/video.
SMS command to enable data roaming
The syntax is "cerberus yourpassword enableroaming", it should work only if Cerberus is integrated into the ROM.
Put call on speakerphone
When you open the test dashboard (link below), you'll see a new "Put on speakerphone" option in the "Call phone" command. Checking that option should make Cerberus enable the speakerphone and make the call. This could be useful to draw attention on the device if you lose it, other than the the alarm siren.

Though the SMS/Call function is best for smartphone, the stealth photo capture is cool
Is there an app or methodology to get Facebook birthdays to sync to the birthday field in your contacts? I know how to add them to my calendar, or have a third-party app display them. I want them to be added to the actual contact record of a person.
Also, is there an app that allows you to add a location to a calendar event by contact. For example, I have my doctor's address in my phone, and would love to be able to select his name to add to events. If this is possible with Google Calendar or S Planner, please describe the steps to accomplish this.

Every Facebook syncing app only syncs a contact's birthday to your calendar...he wants a way to have their birthday under their contact info. I don't think there's a way to automatically do it..but if you have some time you could manually add them. Just..
Edit contact > add new field > event

Well doesn't misreading just suck, lol.
Right, I want it as an event under contacts, but the manual process is what I'm trying to avoid. This seems like a pretty simple idea (as long as contacts have the same name.) Don't know why it's more difficult than adding to a calendar. I guess it's related to the fact that when you sync Facebook contacts their birthdays are not there also.
Haxsync seems to put the birthday under contacts as well its a setting in advanced

Hi Everyone. I've been using the moto "classic" face (set to black, it looks awesome) on my 360. This is the face that shows when you have events along a ring inside of the hands.
I've run into a bit of an issue however. Events in my primary Google calendar work fine, but those in my work Google calendar do not show up. Is there any way to show events from multiple calendars or at the very least select which one is used? This is only an issue for the moto watch face, the android wear event reminders correctly pull data from all my calendars.
I'm sorry to bring you back to your thread without an answer, but I'd love to know this as well.
Do you have both calendars selected in your calendar app on the phone? I have calendars in Google and exchange, both show properly.
Hmm, yes I do... Weird.
Any solution found?
Did anyone find a solution to this issue yet? Only my main "Google Calendar" is showing on the watch face; the sub-calendars of my Google account do not show.
Same problem
Only one of my five calendars shows up on watch but all show up on phone. Nexus 5 all apps up to date. I would love to see this fixed or hear a solution.
More Calendar Events Watchfaces!!!!!
Anyone know of any watch faces for moto360 that also show calendar events like the "Classic" one that is built in?

seconded. my exchange and Google calendars seem to be working.
dont mean to revive a dead thread but this popped up after trying the new Pascual watch face.
in the picture the "testing @ 3:40-4:40" shows on the watch ring and this is my primary google calendar.
The "testing @5-6" is a sub calendar on the same google calendar. this will not show up

Has anyone else figured this one out? I also have not been able to make my watch face sync up with my calendar. I only have one calendar in Google and I can't get my watch face to reflect any events...
Same topic here with no anwser, some say its de Lollipop version

Three are lots of good alternative email apps. A few to look at are Cloud Magic, TypeMail, and Mailwise. I. Have tried all three of these with my corporate Exchange account and they work fine.

thanks, i reached out to them.
figured it out, it's because of 2 step authentication. since asus is not using the "new" login method for Microsoft, it doesn't try at all to attempt 2 step authentication so it fails. disable 2 step in security and app works now. add 2 step back and app still works.
I use outlook.com for my emails, phone book etc. Everything was fine with my contacts on my phone, I had all the small avatars for myself and all my contacts. I've got a big problem since MS updated me to their new style Outlook.com.
All my contacts Avatars have gone and I seem to have every contact in my phone from Facebook even though I have only chosen 'Outlook' in the settings. More annoyingly I have about 300 'Unnamed' contacts appear in my contacts and none of them have any info inside. I have deleted my account on the phone and resynced and it is still the same?
Has anyone come across this and any ideas how I can get my original properly synced settings back?
I have about 300 of these empty names now,

Did you already check in Settings > Apps > Outlook if all permissions are granted. If not, delete your Outlook account, set all permissions, re-add your account.

I'm using the outlook that is in the accounts settings and not the Outlook app itself. I've got my mail,calendar and phone numbers synchronised.
Maybe I'll install the App and give it a go that way and chose that setting in the phone app to see if that sorts it.

If you guys want to know some good email apps the type mail app works great so does blue mail I use both and they rock. They have like a 4.6 or 4.7 rating not many apps get praises like that. Just thought I would mention that as I think the outlook app has a lot to be desired.

Thanks for that but it's not the email I have problems with it's the Outlook account sync problems that give me hundreds of false empty entries in my people phone book when I sync to Outlook.com. They are obviously not in there so I don't know where they are coming from. It has only happened since MS updated me to their new Outlook.com style of page.
Oh I had that issue on Tuesday with the outlook servers using Thunderbird email software I had to force close a couple times now seems to be fine all day Wednesday yesterday and still going fine.
